THESE ARE THE RULES PEOPLE! 

Activeness- 

Try to remain as active as possible, this site strives on your activity and posting everywhere week isn’t much to ask, if you can get hold of a computer do it. I do understand that RL comes first so if things get crazy on the home front and you'll be out for a while shoot me a pm let me know, no questions asked. :)

If I don't get a word from you however... Well I wont be very happy put it that way.

Posting will be looked upon greatly here, you will be informed with a warning if your posting falls to a low level (Less than once in about 3 weeks or so), member prunes will be carried out every month and will retire all those who fail to post at the very minimal of once every three weeks. If you are slowing in your posting for whatever reason please take time to let the people you are posting with know as well as putting a note in the absences. This is a hobby but disappearing leaves others hanging and that just isn’t fair. You must declare if you are taking a leave of absence and your prune will not be carried out

• 18+
This RPG has been rated 18+ ( due to the site owners state laws) we recommend that you be above 18 years of age to play, as the level of maturity will be expected there and adult material will be used through out. Please do restrict yourself when using adult material, I especially don’t want to see porn on here, or anything disgusting. There is no problem with swearing in character, we do not want to see excessive unnecessary swearing in out of character conversations. There is no problem with Rping of a sexual nature but ask that it is aimed within a storyline so that this board does not degenerate into vampire porn....if it is felt that there is excessive useage without obvious progression within a plot we will contact the members involved to discuss this.

• Advertising
No advertising random crap not related to RP! I won't tolerate it! This includes adding links in your signatures. This will result in disciplinary action if it is not removed immediately without exception.

The ONLY advertisement I will allow and encourage is that of links to other Rp sites or the like, that includes Vtm, Vtr, D&D, Star Wars, Star Trek (if they exsist) and so on and so forth. But thats it. If you wish to make friends with us and advertise on our site, shoot me a PM and post a short description with a link in the Guest friendly Forum on the main page. Anything I find slanderous or inappropriate I will delete and possibly BAN your IP and yes I can do that. I hope that I wont though to be honest.

• Character Descriptions
Post a character description in the appropriate section to be approved by one of the approving members of the site. If you join the site but do not post a character description within one month, or do not post anything at all for that matter, you will be deleted at the end of the month. Please make sure that you use the blank character sheet template and please do not post any in character threads until you have been approved. This will rarely take more than 48 hours.

• Signatures
Nothing over 500 pixels wide by 200 pixels high. Anything larger may disrupt the layout of the forum. Use Photoshop or another programme to resize your images.

• Character reps

To save repeats of avatars and people in signatures, if you are using a famous person in your signature please put a note ON the Character Sheet when you post it . This will prevent upset. A date will be put next to your name on the sheet so that people can see how long you have had that signature, Avatar, name and so on, also a mark if that character becomes retired or deceased.

• Spam & Flaming
Spam in any shape or form will not be tolerated. Topics consisting of simply one or two people spamming a thread will not be taken lightly. Also inflammatory threads or posts which offer nothing to an ongoing discussion but are designed to upset will be deleted and the members placed on notice. You are only allowed 3 warnings on this before you're either suspended or banned. This is a place to unwind and have fun. Not to cyber bully others. I won't tolerate it and neither will any other Adim.

• Copywrite
This RPG is based upon the World of Darkness (WoD) and Vampire: the Masquerade (V:tM). All WoD and V:tM content and materials are copyright of White Wolf Publishing, Inc. (WW). This forum uses all materials and content, unofficially, for non-profit purposes. At no time will any materials or content be used for monetary gain or profit, whatsoever.

Role-Playing Rules

• Be Descriptive
Please be descriptive in your posts, we dont one liners here, we want good long interesting posts. Try to interact with the other character as much as you can, and please do not copy what the other user has posted. I.e. All the speech of another character. It becomes very frustrating after a while. We have no objections to ends of speeches to show when you are responding, or single sentences but not the whole thing. Short posts result in short replies which reduces the enjoyment for everyone. Please try and remember that it isn’t just what your character says that is needed but their actions, facial expressions etc.

• Spelling and Grammar
Spelling and Grammar must be looked at very carefully on this RPG. Please do note that we expect a high standard of posting off our members and spelling and grammar is a definite must. While we understand English is not necessarily everyone’s first language we are conscious of such programmes as Word etc that mean spelling can be checked before posting.

• God-Modding
Do not power play, godmod, be a twinkie, etc. If there is one thing that annoys me, and many others, to the point of breaking into insane rants of frustration, it's god-modding. You cannot control another’s character, stick to your own! If this is brought to the attention of the moderators and they agree that you have god modded another’s character you will be asked to edit the post.

• Respect
Please have respect for other players, as they are on the same level as you, no one is greater than another, if there are any problems regarding confrontations with other members you can PM any user of the admin or moderating staff.


Killing/ Death of characters

• Your character can die, no matter what you say. Ok, how do we decide if a character is going to die? BOTH USERS  must come to an agreement about whose character dies or if they both live and the outcome. If the one user does not want their character to die, they do not. 

* Staff may intervene in certain instances. Like say if your character is of the Sabbat and they walk in to the Princes haven... Yeah no, your dead as a door nail. End of story*

• Exceptional Cases

ONLY THE HIGHEST RANKING SECT LEADERS  will be able to kill off characters, with out consent BUT WITH NOTICE to the members, creating realism to the RP and of course adding a certain edge to peoples RP. 

Extra note:

A note to all my Mods and Admins, and other Rpers: Remember should it come down to whether a character lives or dies, the character that does the killing MUST BE OR HAVE 2 of these 3 things if not all unless otherwise stated by me or Number 2.... No Mod can make this call. NO EXCEPTIONS!

For Rp members: THIS IS STRICTLY CONSENT KILLING ONLY SITE! IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE OTHERS PLAYERS OK THEN GUESS WHAT? YOU CAN'T KILL THEM. IF THIS IS DONE THE DEATH CAN AND WILL BE VOIDED! THE PLAYER WHO ATTEMPTED TO DO SO WILL BE WARNED ONLY ONCE, THEN SUSPENDED AND IF IT COME DOWN TO IT BANNED FROM THE SITE!



1. That character MUST be a Sect leader: this means if you play lets say the Baron... You must be rping as the Baron character to kill another character with out consent. Also you must run it by me or Number 2 BEFORE HAND and contact the player of the character stateing the situation and the reason why it is happening. IF THIS IS NOT DONE THE DEATH MAY BE VOIDED.

2. I CAN NOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH! YOU MUST HAVE A SOLID REASON IC TO KILL A CHARACTER THAT IS NOT YOUR OWN. This does not mean that they annoy you in OOC and so that is how you get them back... No. Pull shit like that and you will be banned from the site. I'm not playing with that shit. THIS IS ALSO A MUST FOR OBVIOUS REASONS.

3. You must run and notify myself or Number 2 (by any handle we are under) of any killings of other Rp characters BEFORE DOING SO!!!!! Sometimes killing with out consent is unavoidable but there is no need for it to be a surprise on the board. That's just plain rude and it ticks me off. So please be decent person and shot them a Pm about it as a POLITE heads up. No BS please.

Extra reminder the MAX is 3 characters per person. NO EXCEPTIONS! The standard NPC account used by Mods and Admin, does not count as a character.


• Cliché
We tend to avoid the cliché here, there will be no cannon characters created by White Wolf Publishing here, neither will you be allowed to create characters based on other fictional works, for instance no Lestat, Louis, Dracula or Gandalf the Grey. Please remember this includes plucking a character completely from films or computer games, taking inspiration does not count but we want to see your imagination at work not their writers and/or designers.

Creating a Character Rules

• Your Name
The name of your character can be anything you like, depending on what region your character was born. Please do not have your characters name with a string of numbers "CoolVamp14" That is NOT a person’s name! Please could we have real names and not user names. Character names like this will be immediately classed as spammers and will be deleted, there will be no exceptions to this….no-one has numbers in their name in real life unless they are a rapper or something…you aren’t here so don’t do it.

• Posting your submission
You must have your topic title as your character name and your topic description as your clan and sect allegiance. For more reference please take a look at the blank character sheets. Please wait for approval before posting in character.

* Controversial topics such as: Religion, sex, violence/violence towards a user or social group, single working mothers, abortion, euthanasia, sports and racism. WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. Some exceptions can be made when In Character but they have a limit, for more information re-read the other rules. Any consult you may have, send me a pm or to any of the admin staff.

Hi, Number two here, and one final rule that my counterpart failed to mention. HAVE FUN! So not a request. I order you to have fun.
